No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter M&M Balls

By Peggie

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1 1/2 cups peanut butter
• 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• Some chocolate chips
• Some M&M’s

Preparation

Step 1

Mix butter, peanut butter, M&M’s, and powdered sugar until well blended. More or less powdered sugar can be used to make mixture more or less dry. Make 1 inch balls and freeze for about 20 minutes or until firm.

Microwave chocolate chips for 60 seconds, stopping every 15 seconds to check and stir. Tip: Adding some vegetable shortening can make the chocolate thinner and easier work with.

Remove balls from freezer and dip into the chocolate. Place on wax paper, top with M&M’s (optional) and allow to harden. Refrigerate if needed.
